Farmer's Prayer Lyrics

Artist: Dave Dudley
Album: Songs About The Working Man

Lord put a hand to the handle of my hoeLet me make another step help me go another roadEven though I'm tired I'd break my back for my wife and kids livin' in the shack

Every morning Lord I I get up and look at the skyAnd I know if I'm gonna work the sun's gotta shineI'm gettin' old Lord before my time broke down body and mindAnd some time when I don't see a rain cloud floatin' by Lord I just feel like dyin'My pa used to tell me when I was a boyHe said son them big white fleely clouds ain't nothin' but the cottonfields of the LordSo after all these years of plantin' and choppin' and pickin'If I do get to the heaven like I've been tryin' and them clouds be what pa said LordI hope your angels know how to use a hoeLord put a hand...

You rememeber the time when the wife said you gotta slow downI said honey I gotta make it while I can so I worked three days without stoppin'For Miss Simons down the road had would need choppin'Ame Merlow over east had hay that needed bailin'Ol' man Turner he wanted his hopper fixedBefore spring plantin' down my back LordBut I got it all done before the sky turned black nowLord I ain't complainin' but sometime when you see me stumbleReach down and lift a hand under my cotton sackMake my days a little shorter my nights a little longerMake a hammer a little lighter and a dollar a little strongerIf there's anything I can do for you LordLet me know what's to be done Lord by will be done goodnight LordLord put a hand...
